Why doesn't your husband just cook for him and your son and you cook for yourself?

Whole grain brown rice, mushrooms, onions, fresh garlic, 2 whole local farm chicken eggs, sambal chili paste, and soy sauce!

Nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, minimally processed cheese. You could use hummus, mustard, guacamole, or salsa for dipping your vegetables.

As long as you're consuming healthy fats from plants such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil - go for it! If you're into meat, stick with organic, grass fed lean meat - just don't go over 300 mg of cholesterol. If you get your fat from plants, you will not have to worry about cholesterol at all.

It sounds to me like alot of you are just insecure. You think or worry that everyone is judging you on the way you eat. If you feel that way, then YOU are the one that really has the problem with the way you eat. Stop blaming your insecurities on other people judging you. If you didn't find it true, it wouldn't bother you…

I personally don't think there is anything wrong with a vegan diet. However, only eating fruit is not a vegan diet. At all. Try the clean eating/whole foods diet and get a variety of beans, fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and lean PROTEIN. You need a variety of all these foods daily. My macros on this diet…

I'm 5'9'' 188lbs and MFP has my macros set at 55/30/15 carbs/fat/protein. However, mine average to 40/20/40 carbs/fat/protein.

I eat 100-115 grams of protein a day. Protein makes up about 40-45% of my daily 1200 calorie diet. I do not eat this much protein on purpose, I just eat a lot of egg whites and beans. Is that bad?

Alcohol is what caused my weight gain to begin with. My fiance and I still go out to bars, I just don't drink. I get a water with lemon. I think people assume I am having some sort of mixed drink and don't bother me about it. I get a litlle anxious at first, but when other people in the bar start getting loud and…

Ugh! I find co-workers comments on what I eat SO annoying. I eat either navy beans, black beans, or mixed vegetables (corn, green beans, lima beans, peas, and carrots) all with chunks of chicken breast. They actually tell me I am GROSS as they have their large McDonald MSG sacks in hand! I actually enjoy healthy food. My…

I agree, I'm just not a fan of "sweets" or fruit really...

I wish. I have plenty of it hanging around my belly.

Thanks!

I actually work a lot of hours at a desk job and do not exercise. 1200 calories still too little? Thanks for the advice!

Great, thanks!

I guess I should mention that I eat differently on 2 days of the week. On those days, I actually usually eat nuts, avocado, various raw vegetables, hummus, whole wheat crackers, shrimp, fish, etc but try to stay calorie conscious at about 1500-1900 calories.

No real reason for eating low fat... it's just food that I really like and it just happens to total 15-23 grams of fat per day. Also, I work A LOT of hours at what is, mostly, a desk job and do not exercise. Thanks for all of your suggestions... I will take them into consideration!

What methods have/are you using to lose weight? Have they worked? Any that haven't worked for you?
